In May of 2011, One World Technologies announced the recall of its Ryobi
1/4 Sheet Sanders. In total, almost 300,000 of the company’s sheet
sanders were recalled for laceration hazards posed to the consumer. The
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued the product recall
after discovering that pieces of the fan can break off from the fan assembly
and be ejected from the sander, potentially cutting or injuring the person
using it. The recalled product was sold at Home Depot, Gardner, Inc.,
Tap Enterprises, Inc., Direct Tools Factory Outlets, Amazon.com and ToolKing.com
from June 2005 through August 2010 for about $30.

"This recall involves Ryobi brand sheet sanders, model S651D. The
sander is blue and black. The word "Ryobi" is on the left side.
The model number can be found on the data plate located on the side of
the sander just below the handle," reported the CPSC press release.

Although the dangerous tool was voluntarily recalled by One World Technologies
and pulled from store shelves almost two years ago, there are still consumers
using this product on a daily basis who are unaware of the potential risks involved.
